VALVE Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 26, 1907.

Application filed October 19 1906- Serial No, 339,589.

To all whomit may concern:

Be it known that I, EMIL PniLLIPsoN, a citizen of the United States,residing at the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the countyand State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Valves, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactspecification' My invention-relates to improvements in means forcontrolling the llow or transfer to or from a container or receptacle,and the same has for its object more iarticularly to provide a simpleeilicient and reliable valve m which the vs vs face may be positivelymoved into and out of engagement with its seat, and positively held toany of its intermediate positions.

Further, said invention has for its object to provide a valve in whichthe valve -face may be quickly moved into and out of engagement with itsseat, without necessitatmg the turning of the valve face relatively toits seat.

Further, said invention has for its object to provide a valve capable ofwithstanding fluids under high pressure, and permit of the transfer ofsaid fluids without liability of leakage or loss.

To the attainment of the aforesaid objects and ends my inventionconsists in the novel details of construction, and in the combination,connection and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described,and then pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification whereinlike numorals of reference indicate like parts, Figure 1 is a centralvertical section taken ap- ..proximately on thcline 1-1 oi Fig. 2, showmg one form of a valve constructed according to, and embodying my saidinvention, and. Fig. 2 is a section takcn-on the line 2-2 of Fig. i

In said drawings 5 designates a valve casing which is made cylindricalin form and provided with an inlet portion 7, and a nozzle. 6, bothprovided upon their outer surfaces with screw threads by means of whichthe valve may be secured to a container at one portionfwand to a pipe,hose or a second receptacle at its other end.

8 denotes a valve seat provided upon the bottom of the casing 5 at theinner end of the nozzle 6.

The upper portion of the casing 5 is screwphragm 13.

threaded upon its inner surface and adapted to receive a cover or top 9,and 10 denotes an annular plate which is' supported in the upper portionof the valve upon a shoulder 11. Between the underside of said annularplate 10, and the shoulder 11 is disposed a packing or gasket 12, andbetween the upper surface of said annular plate 10nnd the under side ofthe cover or top 9 is disposed a flexible diaphragm 13.

14 denotes a stem which extends through the diaphragm 13 and is providedabout midway of its height with a squared portion 15 and a base 16, uponwhich rests the diabetween the base 16, and nut 18 on the stem 14, andthe upper and lower surfaces of the diaphragn'i l3. Surrounding theupper pon lieu of the stem 14 is a sleeve 19 which is screw-threadedupon its outer surface and works in a threaded aperture provided in thetop 9. The lower end of said sleeve 19 is adapted to bear upon the shortthreaded portion 17, of the stem 14, and the upper projecting end ofsaid sleeve 19 is squared to receive a hand-wheel 20 which is held nplace thereon by a washer 2] and a nut 22 secured upon the extremeuppcr, threaded end of the stem 14.

Upon the underside of the annular plate 10 are provided opposite-locatedlugs 23, 24. .To the lug 23 are pi votally secured the upper ends ofvertical links 25, 25, to the lower ends of which are secured lovers 26,26. The other ends of said levers 26, 26 being pivotally secured to asquare boss 27 provided upon the upper surface of a valve 28.

To the lug 24 are pivotally secured the slotted ends of lovers 29, 29which are pivotally secured intermediate their ends to the squaredportion 15 of the stem 14, and at their other ends to the upper end of alink 30 which is pivotally secured at its lower end to the lovers 26, 26at a point intermediate their pivoted ends.

The valve 28 is provided with a depending socket member 31 having uponits outer surface screw threads upon which is disposed a nut 32 servingwith a washer 33 to hold a re- .Above said diaphragm said tatingreciprocable stem therein, a valve arsilient'or other face 34 inposition in the recessed underside of the valve. The valve 28 isprovided with a central recess or socket I which is adapted to receivethe lower end of the stem 14, and thus afford the valve a small movementupon said stem.

In the operation of the valve a' small amount of rotation imparted tothe sleeve 19 will cause the stem 14 and its attached parts to movevertically and by means of the compound levers 26, 26, 29, 29 the saidmovement will be magnified and the valve caused to descend upon thelower end of the stem 14, and be held tightly against its seat.

Having thus described my said invention, what I claim .and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is:

1. A valve comprising a casing, a non-rotating reciprocable stemtherein, a valve in. said casing adapted for' longitudinal movement onsaid stem, a plurality of levers connected to said valve and stem, andarevoluble member for actuating said levers and operating said valve,substantially as specified.

2. A valve comprising a casing, a non-roranged upon saidstem and adaptedfor longitudinal movement thereon, a plurality of connected leversconnected to said valve and 30 stem, and means for actuating said leversto seat said valve, substantially as specified.

3. A valve comprising. a casing, a non-ro-- tating reciprocab'le stemtherein, a valve on said stern adapted to .move longitudinally thereon aplurality of levers pivotally supported inv said. casing and connectedwith each other and to said valve and stem, and means for actuating saidlevers, substantially as specified.

4. A valve comprising a casing, anon-rotating reciprocable stem therein,a valve on said stem, a plurality of lovers pivotally supported in saidcasing, and secured to said stem and valve, links connecting saidlevers,

and means for reciprocating said stem and ported in said casing andconnected with each other and to said stem and valve, and means forreciprocating said stem andactuating said levers to seat said valve,substantially as specified.

7. A valve comprising a casing, a diaphragm therein, a non-rotatingreciprocable stem in said casing and securedto said diaphragm, a valveon said stem a plurality pf levers pivotally secured together and tosaid valve and stem, and a revoluble threaded sleeve surrounding theupper end of said valve stem, and adapted to work in said casing forreciprocating said stem and seating said valve, substantially asspecified.

8. A valve comprising a casing, a non-rotating reciprocable stem in saidcasing, a valve on said stern ada ted for longitudinal movement thereon,a p urality of levers pivotally secured together and to said valve andstem, a revoluble threaded sleeve arranged upon and surrounding saidstem adapted to work in said casing for reciprocating said stem andseating said valve, and means arranged upon said sleeve for actuatingthe same, substantially as specified.

9. A valve comprising a casing, a diaphragm therein, a stem secured tosaid (liasame, a threaded sleeve disposed upon the upper end of saidstem and adapted to work in said casing, means for rotating said sleeve,a valve having a hollow, depending socket member, and fitted upon thelower end of said stem, an annular plate secured in said 'phragm partlyabove and partly below the casing below said diaphra m, lugs arrangedupon the underside thereo a lever pivotally secured to one of said lugsand said valve stem, a link pivotally secured to the other of saidlinks, a lever pivotally secured to said link and said valve, and a linkconnecting said lev rs, substantially as specified.

10. A valve comprising a casing, a diaphragm therein, a non-rotatingreciprocable stem in said casing and secured to said diaphragm, a valve,a plurality of levers pivotally. secured together and to .said valve andstem, and a revoluble sleeve surrounding the upper end of said valvestem, adapted to work within said casing for reciprocating said stem andseating said valve, substantially as specified.
